money seized in Houston

I was going from Houston to Korea with my two kids and I had mys money seized by the Customs and Border Protection. I was devastated and made a few contacts with other customs attorneys, but I decided to work with Jason instead because he was very considering and on top of that, his attorney fee was... reasonable. I worked my case with him by email and he was very responsive and informative. They say it usually takes forever to get the money back once the money has been seized but thanks to Jason I got my money back in less than 3months.

Excellent Service

I was very pleased with the service that I received from Jason. I had an unexpected Customs matter arise and I was not sure how to handle it. I contacted Jason and from the very first call he was responsive, informative and put me at ease. He handled my case in a timely fashion, always keeping me abr...east of any issues and followed through with whatever he said he was going to do. Best of all, my matter was resolved with an exceptionally good outcome due to Jason's experience and knowledge. I would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with Custom's issues.

Highly recommended customs lawyer

I cannot say enough good things about Jason and his firm. I have dealt with lawyers, and he changed the usually negative perception I had of them. I hired Jason's fim for a customs seizure issue, and from the get-go he was extremely responsive and led me through the process step-by-step and answered ...the numerous questions I had with patience and detailed explanations. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and kept me in the loop. Highly recommended!!

Excellent customs lawyer

Jason was very responsive to our request for a consultation as we were traveling out of the country and needed an urgent response. When we met with him, he was very knowledgeable regarding the rules and regulations surrounding customs law and explained next steps thoroughly. He handled our case with... professionalism. We would highly recommend his services.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
